Busy, busy, busy...

This past weekend was so busy but so fun!  We are all exhausted but would not change a thing!  Friday night was Emma's first 4th Friday performance of the season.  She had 3 dances to perform and again I am so impressed with how much she has grown as a dancer and of course as a young lady.  Very sad that my baby is growing up but it is true!  The Generation Performing Art Center dancers again did a wonderful job.  Come join us next month!

Then Saturday morning was Ethan's soccer game.  I just love watching all the 4 and 5 year olds play.  This team was pretty good and Ethan is finally starting to be a little more aggressive (getting the ball that is) and helping his team.  He is struggling on getting the ball turned around and stealing from the other team but he is really trying!  So proud of my little man!  He is half way through the spring season and the Green Alligators are wonderful!

 

Then on Sunday was our annual March for Babies walk.  Erik and I have been walking for 19 years due to I was a preemie and became a coordinator for my previous employers.  Ironically I had a preemie (Emma) and had to take progesterone injections to prevent premature birth for Ethan and it worked.  March of Dimes means so much to Erik and me.  We were lucky that Emma and I were healthy babies.  So we strive to give back and help with research on prematurity.  Thank you to all that sponsored Team Kyre and hope you will join us next year!

Spring Break and Easter 2013

It was a very eventful Spring Break this year and not so eventful Easter.  Recently we found out that our half bath sprung a small leak and our hardwood floors need to be partially replaced.  Erik and I decided to not only get the floors repaired but rip out carpet in 3 rooms and have hardwoods put in.  With hesitation, we moved out of the house and stayed in a hotel for 5 days.  Ethan was just getting over a stomach virus so I was a little nervous.  However we wanted to have a fun "staycation".

Last Monday, Ethan was still sick so we delayed the floors one day to get everything ready and make sure he was okay.  Tuesday morning we boarded our cat and then headed over to Franklin Park Conservatory to see the butterflies and glass blowing.  We met some friends there and even had lunch.  It was a great time and we even bought some caterpillars so the kids can watch them grow into butterflies. Then later that night dinner with Dad and of course lots of swimming at the hotel pool!

Wednesday we slept in and then had lunch and over to SuperGames for some bouncing and laser tag!  The kids had a great time and I even had 1 free coupon left!  Afterwards, we visited Buckeye and then met Erik for dinner and of course more swimming.

Thursday and Friday Erik was off so we decided to head over to COSI Thursday early afternoon.  Not such a great idea since that was the plan for everyone else on Spring Break.  We had to wait an hour and a half in line (which I have never done that before there)!  Once we got our tickets, it was not too bad at the exhibits. We visited almost everything we could and Emma even rode the unicycle!  First time for her and she was not  that nervous.  She did such a great job! We even headed over to Spaghetti Warehouse for dinner which we have not gone in a long time.  We had a 20 minute wait there but well worth it!

Friday was our relax day at the hotel.  We slept in and then met Erik's Mom and Grandma for lunch.  Then at lunch Emma became ill and we took her back to the hotel with an upset tummy.  It was okay though since we wanted to watch basketball anyway.

Saturday morning we packed up from the hotel and got back into our messy dust-filled house.  The floors are gorgeous but just very dusty.  So Erik and I spent most of Saturday and Easter cleaning.  Emma slept most of Saturday and Sunday so Erik's Mom came over to give them their Easter baskets.  Emma did get up for that and our Easter egg hunt inside!

Here are some pics of our week and Easter!  Pics of the floors coming soon!
